What I have been reading lately #26


This book covers in great depth all that is corrupt, dishonest, scandalous, and wrong in Italian football.  This would include the clubs, fans, owners, journalists, referees, league officials, politicians, financiers, players, and others as well.  Kind of depressing, actually.

What I've been reading lately

Winning: At All Costs- John Foot

This book is brilliant, and makes me realise again that Italian soccer (football) really is for me. This league full of corruption and extremely high expectations is perfect!
